Steps to reproduce:
Emacs -Q
M-: (package-initialize)
M-: (describe-package 'auctex)
These give an error with the following backtrace:
#+begin_src elisp
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp "
auctex-de...@gnu.org")
describe-package-1(auctex)
#f(compiled-function () #<bytecode 0x14658afd66b6c08d>)()
help--window-setup("*Help*" #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode
0x14658afd66b6c08d>))
describe-package(auctex)
(progn (describe-package 'auctex))
eval((progn (describe-package 'auctex)) t)
elisp--eval-last-sexp(t)
#f(compiled-function () #<bytecode 0x1866e58ce5d2>)()
eval-last-sexp(t)
eval-print-last-sexp(nil)
funcall-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp nil)
command-execute(eval-print-last-sexp)
#+end_src
I'm not familiar enough with how Emacs packaging works to know if this is
an issue with auctex, my setup or something else, but I noticed that auctex
is the only entry in my package-alist with ":maintainer nil". The error
comes from the following block of code, which is called with "maintainers"
equal to "(nil . "auctex-de...@gnu.org")":
#+begin_src elisp
(dolist (maintainer maintainers)
(when (bolp)tain
(insert (make-string 13 ?\s)))
(package--print-email-button maintainer))
#+end_src
The following simpler code produces the same error:
#+begin_src elisp
(dolist (maintainer '(nil . "auctex-de...@gnu.org")))
#+end_src
Any suggestions welcome. I also tried this with the latest devel version
and encountered the same error -- I guess it's an issue with how the
package is listed, which is maybe something to do with elpa?
Thanks, best,
Paul
